Advice on Real Estate Agent
Hello BP!!
I am a rookie investor and looking to purchase my first property, through my local REIA group, I found a rock star real estate agent (we will call her Pam). Problem is, Pam is really busy and doesn't want to make the commute to show listings, so she passed me off to one of her assistants (Jordan). Jordan is a new real agent with 6 months of experience and doesn't invest in properties herself. Now even though Jordan will be showing me the listings, Pam said she will still help negotiate contracts, running comps, and answer any questions.
Should I try to get a different agent? I wanted to work with a rock star agent who has a lot of experience with investment properties and someone who could help fill my needs, not necessarily someone new. However, I still like working close to Pam who has a lot of referrals and contractors and network. I am interested in long term relationships and people who can help years down the road.
What are your thoughts?
